The no used games thing is going to hurt the Xbox One on some level. Renting games have been around since the olden days of NES. Used games have helped popularize many games, why is this a problem now? By that standard Gamefly and GameStop shouldn't exist. When I buy a product, as long as I am not copying it, I should be able to do whatever I want. That includes lending it to my friend.

It would only hurt Gamefly. GameStop is going to be one of the few places where we can trade in games. I don't think it will hurt as much as people think since nothing will be changing that much on a consumer level. The once a 24 hour online check is going to much more damage in the long run.

WAT!

Won't small, not-chain used game stores be burned by the Xbone as well?

Consumers who sell games will probably get less for their games and/or consumers who buys used games will see a rise in price. The lending part will be pretty bad though. Not being able to lend a game to a friend when I gotten tired of it? It really feels like a nickel-and-diming scheme.

@TysonOfTime Yes, it will probably kill off a couple of the smaller stores.

Yeah mom and pop store will probably die, was just thinking on the renting business. These are dark time s were heading toward and I have little faith the main consumer cares enough to boycott the system. Microsoft is going to use next gen Kinect, a to f first and third party exclusives, plus a giant marketing budget to get thiss thing to be successful.

So it looks like Mirror's Edge 2 is happening. Not only was there the recent Amazon listings but a help page went up for it on the EA website and was quickly pulled. If this does end up an Xbox One exclusive I'll definitely be getting the console eventually.

Based on articles and videos I've seen recently, I now sincerely hope the Xbone tanks.

Seriously, the big brother stuff going on with the Kinect 2.0 is downright scary.

Biggest Pikmin fan on NL!

Avian fact of the week: The Moa, an extinct relative of ostrichs and emus that inhabited New Zealand, was the tallest bird that ever lived at 12 ft tall (3.6 m). It was also the only known bird to have no wing structure.

The used games part has been overblown with false information completely out of proportion.

Yes you will be able to play your games elsewhere, no different than the way the Xbox 360 works
Nothing has been confirmed about lending games but its been said you will be able to as well.
Used games fees will be paid by the store, not the consumer. That simply means GameStop will be forced to share some of its profit from used games with the developers of said games, which is just fair.

Also I love how idiots are scared / hating the "big brother stuff" but use Google on a daily basis. Did you know google has gone as far as infecting computers with malware and exploiting vulnerabilities in software to track your every move and that going to google means your entire browsing session will be logged and that using chrome also dials back to big brother and tells them everything you do? That's way more intrusive than Kinect compiling anonymous information to make it better.

Source for GameStop paying, also, how will I buy a used game off eBay or from a friend?
